Thanks all for this, I was investigating options for this. One thing that most options don't do (but I thing that the stack number thing could do it. Can you confirm Bruno?)
In most cases, the "normal" (i.e. 0 ev) exposure will be good enough to use as the reference for positioning images (i.e. will generate enough control points to use for good results). In some extreme HDR, the exposure is really different in some images to the point where some images will only be stichable with the +1EV and others with the -1EV. The best options for these cases would be to have control points generated for ALL images. Any images in the same stack will always have the same positions, so the system must somewhat merge all control points for a stack (or something similar). This would yield the most precise result I think. The way I was starting to look at it was to create a pano with all images, create all control points. Then, create a new project manually (through a script), but with only the 0 EV images, and all control points for each stack merged to the 0EV image (therefore keeping all control points). Open, optimize, correct, etc. Then through the same script, regenerate the original project but with position copied over for the whole stack (Using what you do here Eduardo would be even easier than a new script). Bruno, would what is in the branch use all control points? Also, what is the status of the branch... dog food ready? thanks nick On Thu, Sep 3, 2009 at 8:52 AM, Bruno Postle <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Thu 03-Sep-2009 at 01:19 -0700, RueiKe wrote: > > > > Seems like control points would be greatly simplified if I could > > just get hugin to assume the bracketed images were already > > aligned. > > In the gsoc_layout branch we now have a 'stack number' which is > analogous to the current 'lens number', this allows you to link the > positions of bracketed photos without using control points (it isn't > ready for merging with the trunk just yet). > > > I have done a case where I just picked alignment points on the 4 > > corners of a few photos and it seemed to work fine.
